Talk:Reichstag (German Empire)

Complete Rewrite
Rewrote from Bundestag website. Changed photos to the correct time period. Removed Weimar and Nazi discussion. Added refs and removed unreferenced tag. Added list of presidents from the German Wiki. Article is still too short but is now at least historically correct and ready for expansion. --- Ultracobalt (talk) 06:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Duplicate photo
I cannot see that any purpose is being served by having two identical copies of the same photo. 108.20.74.240 (talk) 20:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC) J. Conti

"Diet"? that's BS
this is English wikipedia, "diet" is not the word in English, nor was it at the time the Reichstag was built, and it's not the word in German. Perhaps (completely speculating) the Germans chose a word in German that was similar to a word used by the Holy Roman Empire (which was finished in 1807), or nationalist Germans 100 years ago wished to hearken back to a mythical past? who cares, because we are not them and we should use English words. Seems to me, whoever is in favor of "diet" in this article needs to go change many other wikipedia pages to defend their claim, starting with the Diet (assembly) page which does not corroborate this usage here. 74.65.224.183 (talk) 22:16, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Contradiction in infobox
The infobox says suffrage was "limited". The article's body says it was universal. Which was it? True universal suffrage seems unlikely; I would imagine it's more likely to be universal male suffrage. Hairy Dude (talk) 16:34, 24 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Updated the text and infobox with information I found in a couple of German language articles (unfortunately none with citations), but I'm sure that manhood suffrage was all that was "universal". Hope this helps. GHStPaulMN (talk) 01:40, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
